Girls Allowed!

I thought i'd update you all on how the girls group is going, it's been a while since i've said hello!

Girls Allowed is for girls in year six upwards (from the age of 11 for those who struggle with school years!), and is on for an hour and a half every Tuesday after school.

We recently had a club where the girls let us know what it was they wanted to do (using monopoly money!)and so now we have a curriculum based on that, which they seem to love!

We don't have a lot coming (we have got a faithful four and two girls who occassionally come along), so we've had lots of time to really invest in these girls, building up relationships with them, as well as building up their skills and self-esteem.

However, an area for prayer would be how we engage more of the young girls on the estate in the work of urban devotion, as even though i'm not after large numbers, i'm aware that there are loads of them that we have no contact with, who are missing out!

It's really encouraging to see how much my relationship with three of the girls in particular has developed over the time i've been with UDB now, when i look back i used to feel like i was never going to get a 'meaningful relationship' with any of them, but now they are so open with me, it just goes to show that trust in some of these young people takes a looooong time to develop!

So, there you have it, a brief rundown on what's going on with the girls atm!

Thank you all for your continued support - the prayer backing we get from you guys is vital to the work we're doing here.

Buckets of Blessings to you!
